Times 10. Plus, I don't know what kind of "show" this is, but I've never heard of a theatre -- particularly one that charges $75 a seat -- that will simply allow you to change which show you're attending at the last second. Advance tickets are just that -- reservations for a specific day and time (and almost certainly a specific seat) in advance. They might sell you new tickets, if there are seats available, but they probably won't refund your old ones just cuz they changed their mind.

And a three-day bachelorette party? Sounds like "ME ME ME" syndrome, to me. Good lord.

That was the whiff I was getting from the tv show. I didn't bother pitting all the other losers on the show who were also all, "You can't boot me! These are not the $1000 in unpaid parking tickets you're looking for!" because they weren't holding themselves up as some kind of higher moral example. I think "hypocrite" is the right word - say one thing and do another.

I hate to look a gift cake in the mouth, but I'm kinda picky with birthday cakes (I hate ice cream cakes, too).

Guess what I'm hungry for now?

Maybe you should become a "Cat Yeller".

After close examination my boyfriend thinks somebody stabbed my tire. I'd be spitting mad, but I'm too tired.

Three days of booms and bangs from fireworks is MORE than enough, and your assholes' BOOOMS are setting off car alarms next block over. Thanks for my new headache, motherfuckers!!!!

Perhaps you can enlighten me: where in that quote is the "mis-punctuation"? I'll give you a hint: it ain't there.

I might get a-round to it.

Fuck you, Kroger, for apparently not giving your baggers any training whatsoever.

There are a couple of them who know how to sack groceries in the reusable bags that I bring with me and so carefully arrange on the belt with the items to go in each individual bag.

The vast majority, the ones who do this as a supplement to their Social Security check and the high school and college students, are absolutely clueless. Last night, I had to re-bag my own groceries when the little shit just tossed them in, rotissery chicken with ice cream and all. On top of that, he used six plastic bags in addition, for what fit very easily into the four bags that I'd brought.:smack:

Then I had to get the cashier's attention from making time with the blonde college girl (which didn't earn me any willingness to be of assistance) to replace the eggs that the bagger had made a mess of when he carelessly packed them.

This isn't rocket science, folks. If the mentally challenged guy at Al's Foodland can do a good job of it, it really shouldn't be beyond your capabilities.

No, it's there - "mis-punctuation?" Punctuation goes inside quotation marks.

ETA: And outside brackets.

I just got a typical phishing spam ("I am Mr. Tim Tookey, the Group Finance Director of Lloyds Banking Group United Kingdom. I personally discovered a dormant account with a total sum of $95,000,000.00 [NINTY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS ONLY] during our Bank's Account Auditing. The owner of this dormant account died on 4th Jan 2002. Since the death of the deceased, nobody has operated in this account till date. I mean NO BODY! Moreover, this account has NO BENEFICIARY attached to it.") and it's irritating me. One, the writing is so unprofessional it's a dead giveaway it's a scam (I've never to this day got a legitimate business letter with someone EXCLAIMING! in it). Two, they keep doing this because SOME IDIOTS KEEP FALLING FOR IT! KNOCK IT OFF, IDIOTS!
